I liked his earlier album pretty good, except for those damn cuicas. Well, they're back, though they're not quite as annoying here, lower in the mix and less common. The overall vibe is still sunny, samba cool, with a bit more of an upbeat, rock edge, with some harder hits, some use of tension and release and a general willingness to jerk the leash a bit.
There's something timeless here, everything just wafting by like the wind, something that makes it special.
I prefer the harder-edged Tropicalia, but this is among the nicest and most interesting of the softer stuff. Still don't love those fuckin cuicas though 3.5/5
